Find Out What your Body Type is
Recently, I reached the point where I could no longer contain the frustration I have been feeling toward my lack of results. As you know, I have been on a health journey – trying to lose weight, so that I can qualify for an operation I need to have to fix my tummy. Becoming a mother, the lack of a thyroid gland, and the busyness of life have not been kind to me. Unfortunately, the results are not favourable considering the months I have been working on it. Now, I must admit, it would be very easy to give up. However, that would mean I would be admitting…

Four words – 2014
Here we are smack bang in the middle of the second week of the new year, and I must admit that I have been reading many blogs over the last couple of weeks. It’s been lovely to read the goals and desires of so many people who want to make positive changes in their lives for the coming year. I, on the other hand have decided that instead of making some grandeous goals for myself, I am going to change the way I think about goal setting just for a moment. I am a ‘goal setting’ believer, however, instead of listing ten things I want to change about myself this…

My Top 10 Hints for Simple Living
I recently ‘liked’ a page on facebook called ‘Old Sunshine Coast’ and I have felt very priviledged to have a birds eye view back to the past. I moved to the Sunshine Coast at a time in my life where I was single and completely and utterly responsible for myself. Some might consider those days ‘The good old days’, and I have to admit that I have moments where I miss that girl – but I am quickly reminded of how blessed I am to have the husband I have and the children I have. When I look at those old photos of the coast, I can’t help but think…

Get Inspired!
Amy, our 11 year old daughter came home excited on Friday from school. She wanted to show me a video of this ‘funny little kid who dresses like the President!’. Amy was introduced to ‘Kid President’ at school, so we sat down at the computer together’, and before I knew it – I had four children crowding the computer. Kid President is infectious! The Kid President puts a smile on your face straight away. He has an infectious smile and a hilarious little laugh, and you can just see he has a fun personality. The Kid President’s mission: Is to give you a pep talk! and to help…

Living your Best Life – Nobody has it altogether!
Do you think its possible to ever get to a place where you actually have it altogether? I got a laugh out of this You tube video a friend of mine posted to facebook. It depicts a family walking through the doors of their church – Everyone turns to admire this family, because….’they have it all together’. Little do their church family know how their morning went. I encourage you to watch. http://youtu.be/WdtEYNW2t0Q It’s so easy to think that others have their lives sorted. Its easy to believe that ‘others’ have it altogether, and its easy to feel as though we are the only ones who understand what…

The Lisa Curry Program
“Be the best version of yourself and take back control of your health & happiness” Today I am recommending a weightless and exercise program. I am one of those crazy people who has to tell the world when I have found something awesome – something really great – and something that really works. Today is a shout out to the Lisa Curry Program (http://www.lisacurrykissclub.com.au) I don’t normally shout out numbers like this – but I have to say that I am impressed with myself, because as of today I have lost 10.2 kg. I know!!! This is pretty cool for someone without a thyroid!!! I have a couple of…

Just a House wife, Are We?
I know that I am not the only woman who feels guilty if the house is messy. I don’t feel I can sit and write, or plan my next blog post or adventure, if my home is not how I like it. I realise that some mums can work and play around a messy home but I am just not one of these mums. This week, I watched ‘The Biggest Loser’. I had said that I wasn’t going to watch the show at all this year, but now that the contestants have stopped whinging and whining about exercise, accepted the trainers are there to help them and push…

The Cliffhangers in Life
Three years ago we got a call. A call that we were far from ready to receive, but the phone rang anyway and our lives were about to change forever. The call was to tell us that dad had collapsed and that it didn’t look good. We hurriedly threw what we thought to be necessities in a bag and drove down to Stanthorpe. It is usually a very long drive at the best of times, but that day the drive seemed much longer. As we reached Warrick the phone rang again. This time it was my brother letting me know that dad had passed. I had missed the opportunity…
